For part (a) I just followed an example in the book  and said the answer was 10 choose 3, is this right? I wasn't quite sure how to start part (b). --[[User:Rhollowe|Rhollowe]] 16:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

For part b), can we just consider the cases when 0s are exactly 6,7,8,9,10 and add up those numbers?

I don't see any problem... --[[User:Lee|Lee]] 18:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I believe you both are correct. and using the same logic Lee explained, you can find the answers to c and d --[[User:Kfox|-Kristen]] 19:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
